Good with a few tweaksI am a COTA/L in the schools and work on handwriting with many students. Their IEP's often refer to a particular level of Dolch words, so this is a great way for me to work on them. I know this isn't a handwriting app, but since it has the students trace the words, I feel something should be addressed. When I tried tracing the letters, they never started or stopped with my finger or stylus. The tracing was never quite on the lines, no matter how I tried. Also, marks can be made anywhere on the writing section, not just on the letters. This is an issue for students with decreased control. I hope you will address these issues with your next update. Thanks!

Good but could be betterVery appealing app. Covers the basics very well. As a K teacher I would love the to see a start dot to help with proper direction and proper letter size like the lowercase t bumping up to the top line. Direction arrows would be really helpful if you want to step it up a notch. Also needs a different icon since the ABC owl is the same. Overall, worth it for a FREE app!

I give it a B+Overall, I like this app. I like that the free version isn't too stingy. It's great for learning how to write and spell, but what would make this app a 5 (this also applies to most of the apps like this one) is if we could sound out each letter of the word by pressing on the blocks. Maybe the purchased version does that but claiming that it sounds each letter of the word is a bit misleading guys!

Please fix volume issueHello...nice app but even with my sound off on my ipad2 the sound is still on. I have tried every setting on the ipad to fix the problem...so I know it is the app...please fix this.
